I'm a tenacious and experienced marketing leader building and managing fast-paced production teams and products.
I design media-rich, multichannel brand campaigns that delight visually and deliver with measurable, adaptive metrics for success.
From live events to VR/AR, I love to design and build experiences that connect people and ideas together.
A solid go-to-market strategy begins with a human story. I love tracing a path for products and services to connect with people.
I compose music. I teach kids new games. I love using technology and the internet to get people to connect and thrive offline.
I'm passionate about telling human stories – the kind that inspire true emotion and action. And I love pushing the boundaries of art and technology to find new ways to connect to deeper meaning.
